How can I make your special day, Perfect?
"Funny, genuine and intelligent with the ability to put everyone at ease."
- Naomi (Facebook Review)
Hello there! I'm Jay, I’m the multi-award winning
Marriage
Celebrant,
DJ, MC, Saxophonist. also known as the
Sinister Minister!
(don't worry I'm not an actual minister of any religion)
I've made it my mission to kick boring weddings to the curb. As an authorised marriage celebrant, I don’t just handle the legal stuff – I create ceremonies that are easy, relaxed and full of love and laughter.
You’ll usually spot me in a sharp black suit with a red tie and pocket square – and if I’m grinning, it probably means mischief (the fun kind). My style is a mix of heartfelt moments, cheeky humour, and a dash of theatre to make your wedding feel truly one-of-a-kind.
Whether I’m guiding you through your vows, firing up the crowd as MC, dropping bangers as your DJ, or jumping on the saxophone mid-party, I’m there to make sure your wedding isn’t just a day… it’s the best night of your life.
I would be honored to be part of your big day, whether as your Marriage Celebrant, Wedding Entertainer (DJ/MC, Magician, Singer/Musician), or by combining my skills as both a Celebrant and Entertainer, offering you a convenient, time-saving, and stress-reducing package.
I am also the proud owner and manager of Wedding Sounds, over more than 15 years I’ve built Wedding Sounds into one of Victoria’s most awarded wedding entertainment teams. Over the years we’ve picked up more awards than my kids’ soccer team – 8× Best Wedding DJ/MC, 5× Best Celebrant. But honestly, the best reward is seeing couples and guests smiling, laughing, crying, and cutting loose on the dancefloor.
Because let’s face it: I don’t do ordinary weddings. I do unforgettable ones.

(quick disclaimer: I am NOT a minister of any religion, its just a funny nickname)
Trust your special day to one of Victoria's most respected and talked about wedding professionals.
Why Couples Book Me:
At the end of the day, I bring a mix of professional polish and cheeky personality.
I know how to read a room, keep a timeline on track, and make sure you spend your wedding day celebrating instead of stressing. My couples often tell me that their guests said it was the “best wedding ever” — and that’s exactly what I aim for every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions – Wedding Celebrant & DJ/MC Services in Melbourne
Can we book you as just a Marriage Celebrant or just a Wedding DJ/MC?
Absolutely! You can book me as your Marriage Celebrant, your Wedding DJ/MC, or choose a combined Celebrant & DJ/MC package. I offer flexible options to suit your wedding day needs—no pressure, just what works best for you.
Do you handle all the legal marriage paperwork?
Yes! As a fully registered Marriage Celebrant in Victoria, I take care of all the legal paperwork and lodge your marriage documents with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM). I can also request your official legal marriage certificate to be mailed directly to you.
Do you offer simple, at-home or elopement-style weddings?
Yes, I offer a budget-friendly elopement package perfect for couples wanting a simple, no-fuss legal marriage ceremony at home. It's a great option for intimate celebrations.
How quickly can we get married in Victoria?
By law, you must submit a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least one month and one day before your ceremony. A court-approved shortening of time is required for anything sooner.
Can we see examples of your wedding ceremonies?
Each ceremony I perform is uniquely crafted for the couple, which makes them hard to showcase in a one-size-fits-all way. I’d love to meet for a no-obligation chat so we can see if we’re a great match. You can also check out my 5-star reviews on Facebook, ABIA, Easy Weddings, and view a few ceremony videos I’ve shared.
Can we hear you DJ live?
Every wedding dance floor is different—what works for one crowd might not for another. Instead of a demo, I suggest we meet to talk about your wedding music preferences, vibe, and vision. That way, I can tailor the perfect playlist for your celebration.
